Pet care experience
As soon as we were lucky enough to buy our own house, we adopted our lurcher Logan from Cardiff Dogs Home 2 years ago and have never looked back, it's been a learning experience but we have loved every minute. Logan is a high-energy, couch potato who thinks all furniture was made for him and would be happy to share his sofa with another dog. He can be nervous at first so we would encourage introductions to ensure everyone is happy and comfortable. We are situated within walking distance of a number of parks in Cardiff including Pontcanna fields, Bute park, Thompson's park, and Victoria Park. We are also close to a number of quieter woodland walks, perfect for dogs who like to explore with fewer people/dog distractions. We have a car and would be happy to take your dog with us on longer walks as we love exploring new places. My partner and I work from home on a flexible basis, meaning someone will always be at home with the dogs during their stay. We would send regular updates whilst your dog is with us to put your mind at ease. We have found that it works best when we meet you with your dog and then introduce our dog Logan at a second meet and greet. This allows you and your dog to get to know us and ensures the experience isn't too overwhelming if your dog is particularly nervous around people or other dogs.

Thanks both! Ffred clearly had a great time and made himself at home straight away! Loved the photo updates, put our minds at ease and made us laugh how comfortable he was to invade all of your personal space! Will defo be in touch again when Ffred needs looking after! ☺️
James was great with our dog Charlie! He was very settled and happy in his home. James sent regular updates so we were reassured and he was only there for a few hours. Highly recommended! Thank you again. Catherine
James and Laura are great with Jerry. They convince my very skinny, fussy eater to eat plenty of food through the day (even when Jerry insisted on only eating his dry food if it was fed to him one piece at a time!). Jerry loves lying on the sofa with them while they work or with Logan and has a great time playing with all of Logan's toys. Laura and James sent loads of photos and updates on how Jerry was doing and closely supervised the dogs together as Jerry can be very nervous. Jerry gets super excited every time he knows he's staying with James, Laura and Logan now and I can relax at work knowing that he's safe, happy and well cared for.
This was the first time that Doodle, our young labradoodle, had been left with anyone so we were a little anxious leaving him, particularly as he can be a little nervous with new people. However, James and Laura were brilliant with him and by the end of his stay it was clear he was very comfortable in their company. Even their lurcher, Logan, was happy to welcome Doodle into his home and we really appreciated the photos and videos during his stay. Knowing there is somewhere he will be happy and well cared for whenever we are unable to take him with us is a huge weight off our minds. Highly recommended!
